1. “Look here upon this picture and on this,
   The counterfeit presentment of two Presidents.
   See what a grace was seated on Obama’s brow,
   Hyperion’s curls, the front of Jove himself,
   An eye like Mars’ to threaten and command,
   A station like the herald Mercury
   New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill,
   A combination and a form indeed
   Where every god did seem to set his seal
   To give the world assurance of a man.
   This was your President.
   Look you now what follows.
   Here is your President, like a mildewed ear
   Blasting his wholesome predecessor. Have you eyes?
   Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed
   And batten on this moor? Ha! Have you eyes?”
